New to the world of NCs

[JoeyGunz]

I went Vegas in August, gave a shout to a BOTL over that way and got hooked up with this;





Been working my way through them slowly, notable smokes have been the Opus X, Four Kicks, Undercrown, Padron's and Tatuaje's.

I also smoked a few more NC's when I was out there including the T52.



This is my Fuente line-up I snapped the other day when trying to decide what to smoke

Having sampled my first NC today have decided that I need to venture a little further. Also have a lot of family in the US happy to bring the odd box back.. With this in mind can anyone steer me towards a few of the finer NCs?

Have done some research and have found a few that rate highly but thought I would ask the views of this fine forum?!

If you want any of these just let me know!! Be warned some are massive haha!!!

I have been purposely swerving Cubans recently "Just to see" and I have to say, In my opinion anyway, there are some really good NC's available...Some have really surprised me...I had an Oliva at the weekend and although the wrapper split as it smoked was quite good...I also had a Winston Churchill Lancaster, again nice...AF Short Story, reasonable but this one was poorly constructed and appeared dry and cracked...

Some others like Chinchalero are mega cheap, and not bad for my taste anyway - But my favourite NC right now is the Inka Blue...I received some AGED samples which were A+

+1 for the Winston Churchill Lancaster,best NC I've had yet

Hi Widey, I'll post you an AB Prensado tomorrow. Shoot me your email to ethem@humibros.com. But be sure to let me know how it was

You got your nc selection up and running now mate wouldnt mind taking trying AB myself

[JoeyGunz]

Love a Lancaster!

One thing that annoy's me about NC's is that I am not a fan of Box Pressed sticks.

Why?

[JoeyGunz]

Honestly, just don't like a square foot in my mouth, just feels abnormal

[Wid3y]

Just put my first order of NC's in to test the water.. Thought these offered a fair few options from lots of recommendations..

[bubbajvegas]

Looks a fine list to sample to me,sure you'll find some enjoyable sticks in there :-)

Not even jealous of the Flor de Antilles, not even jealous.

So went and picked up my goods, as someone brought them over from the US.. The old man had snuck a few Arturo chateau Fuente kings in, No idea on reviews etc. All in all very happy!! Now to get the beads hydrated..
